After Ping Zhangguo came to the city, he went to the place where the grain and grass were hoarded in the city to check it, and saw the mountains of grain and grass that were well kept, and he was satisfied, and he wanted to ride his horse back to the house to rest, but he saw a scout centurion under him galloping over, reporting that Shen Peng's caravan had come outside the city.

When he heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, and thought: When this army was fighting, it would not be unusual if Shen Peng detained Lan Yu at the border pass, but now that he is safely transporting the goods here, is there anything strange in this? Thinking of this, he turned to his son Hailixi and ordered in a deep voice: "You go back to the camp immediately, after leaving the city, close the city gate, and leave all the people in Shen Peng's caravan in your camp, and after I check on the city wall, you will order the sergeant to carry the goods into the city, and no one of the caravan will be allowed to enter the city." With that, he turned around and led his guards up the city wall and walked towards the north gatehouse.

Zhu Quan and the others couldn't help frowning when they saw that the caravan was packed into the cavalry camp outside the north gate as if it were being escorted by more than 2,000 Mongolian knights. Turning his head and seeing a slightly gray beard on the city wall, the majestic Mongolian general gave an order, and the Yuan army at the battlements on the city wall was all with bows and arrows, aiming at the caravan under the city, and couldn't help but sink his heart, and secretly cursed in his heart: The old thing should really pierce his hands.

Guolai watched with burning eyes at the head of the city as a group of Yuan troops unloaded the goods on Shen Peng's ox cart and moved them into the city, waiting for several scouts to come back to report that there was no trace of the Ming army within dozens of miles outside the city, and he felt a little relieved. Seeing that Shen Peng was chatting with his son Hailixi under the city, and the rest of the caravan had no other movements, he put his mind at ease and said in a deep voice to a guard beside him: "You go down and tell Shen Peng that when the goods are finished, leave Gyeongju immediately and deliver the remaining goods to Lord Taiwei." After that, he turned around and went home, he wanted to send thousands of Yuan troops to escort the goods back to Nahachu, but when the Ming army came to attack, the throat of Gyeongju was a critical place, and there was no room for loss, but he didn't want to divide the troops to go to him, so he let Shen Peng go by himself.

At this time, Zhu Quan, Xu Ying, and others were helpless to prevent it so tightly when they saw the results.

Shen Peng was standing far away at the side of Haili Creek at this time, and there was another captain on the side, frowning and looking at the people in the caravan, his eyes were full of vigilance, it was Hailanda of the Mobei Yuan Army.

Zhu Quan and Xu Ying had a relationship with this Highlander on the night when the blue jade army was attacked at night, and when they saw that he was actually here, they had already turned their heads so as not to give him consciousness.

Seeing that this caravan with hundreds of vehicles and thousands of people could let a huge amount of goods be safely delivered here during the expedition of the Ming army, Highlander was also suspicious in his heart, and couldn't help but ask: "How can your caravan avoid the blockade of the border pass?" Coming here? ”

Shen Peng has had a lot of contact with the generals under Nahachu in the past two years, and he can hear this unfamiliar Mongolian accent of the commander, which is slightly different from the soldiers under Nahachu's command, and guessed that he is what Zhu Quan said, the general of the Mobei Yuan Army, and said mysteriously when he heard the words: "My son is a noble person in the Ming Dynasty, and he is also friendly with General Lanyu stationed in Liaodong, so he still has to give this face." ”

Hylanda remembered the importance of Gyeongju, and was still relieved, and asked, "I don't know what your son-in-law is?" ”

Shen Peng said with a smile: "My son's surname is Ouyang, and his single name is Lun, and he is the most beloved daughter of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of Hongwu and the husband of Princess Anqing. ”

Hai Lixi was slightly dissatisfied in his heart, and frowned: I, the master, haven't asked so much, I don't know what you're talking about? He saw that this Highlander came to Gyeongju with more than 3,000 remnants of the defeated general, and looked down on him in his heart. It was only because of his father's instructions that he could barely endure it. In the past two years, Shen Peng has sent them the salt and medicine they urgently need, but Yihailixi has completely lost his defenses against him.

Shen Peng was sleek and shrewd, watching coldly, catching a trace of displeasure in Hailixi's expression, turning his head to see that Ping Zhangguolai on the city wall had already left, turning his head, and deliberately showing some apologies and saying: "Every day, my buddies carry goods into the city, but today I have to work a group of military masters." ”

The knights who carried the heavy sacks beside him, already angry in their hearts, gave him a tease, and could not help muttering and cursing in foul language.

Hai Lixi turned his head to look at Zhu Quan in the distance, Xu Ying and other caravan guys were sitting or lying down leisurely, but the knights under his command were so tired and resentful that they were also very angry, and turned to Shen Peng and said, "Call these Han dogs under your command to move things." With that, he ordered his knights to stop moving.

Seeing that he was so careless, Highlander couldn't help frowning, and said sharply, "No." ”

"This general is very angry, I don't know if he is the new commander? The two of us need to be closer in the future. Shen Peng said that, and ordered the two guys to fetch a few bags of tea, and his demeanor was full of respect, as if he wanted to stammer Highlander.

Hai Lixi was already displeased when he saw this Hailanda's commanding tone, and when he saw Shen Peng's snobbish appearance of yelling at him, he was even more nameless, and said coldly: "This must be ordered by the general." Then he turned around and walked away.

Seeing that he was angry, Highlander had no choice but to walk a few steps and came to the edge of the city gate to monitor the caravan men under Shen Peng who were carrying sacks and walking towards the city.

Zhu Quan, Xu Ying and the others saw that Shen Peng had opened up the way into the city, so they carried a sack on their shoulders, covered half of their faces, followed the other guys, and walked towards the city of Gyeongju.

Zhu Quan looked at the houses in the distance, and when there was no one nearby, he asked softly to Qin Zhuofeng in front of him, "After I wait for the unloading, can I find a place to hide first?" ”

"By no means, when I walked past the captain, I heard him muttering to himself, most of them were counting the number of people we had entered the city, and if he found that there were fewer people out of the city, he should be even more suspicious. Most of this salt is not far from the granary, find the granary, look at the terrain, and sneak in at night. Qin Zhuofeng said in a low voice.

Zhu Quan and the others knew that he was used to doing these things, so they also obeyed his orders, and after unloading the salt bags in the granary, they deliberately wiped the dirty sleeves on their faces with sweat, making them unrecognizable, and walked towards the military camp outside the city.

After Shen Peng's caravan finished unloading the goods, it was already dusk, and the sky gradually darkened.

At the same time, a Mongol army of tens of thousands quietly arrived and camped in a valley about 60 miles from Gyeongju. In the tent, a gray-haired, energetic Mongolian veteran was watching in front of a sheepskin map. Behind him, stood three Mongolian men dressed as captains. It was Nahachu, the Taiwei of the Northern Yuan, and his henchmen, the three heads of the "Uliangha" Sanwei.

"Uliangha" Sanwei is actually the collective name of "Ulianghawei", "Tainingwei", and "Fuyuwei", which are respectively "Uliangha", "Wengniut", "Uqiyette" three tribes, just because the ancestors of the three tribes had served in the army of Muhuali, a famous general under Genghis Khan, so the leaders of the three tribes and the most elite 60,000 cavalry in the Liaodong Yuan army at this time naturally became the descendants of Mu Huali, the henchmen of Taiwei Nahachu.

The leader of the "Fuyuwei", the commander of the ten thousand horses, Hai Sanan, looked at Nahachu's back, couldn't help but look puzzled, and asked: "Since Lord Taiwei is worried about the loss of Gyeongju, why don't you lead the army to Gyeongju in the starry night, and join forces with Lord Heping Zhangguo?" ”

Nahachu turned around, shook his head with a smile, and said in a deep voice: "I personally led your three guards and 60,000 elites here, and even Guolai was concealed, but I hope that he can attract Feng Sheng's main force of the Ming army under the city of Gyeongju. If you know that I am leading the army here to wait for reinforcements, if you are lucky, you may not be willing to fight Feng Sheng to the death, Fu Youde, how can you consume the combat power of the Ming army? In the words of the Han people, this is called putting oneself to death and then being born. ”

"Tainingwei" Captain Wan, Azashri frowned when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Gyeongju is a key place in Liaodong, this time Feng Shengqin led an army of 200,000 to come here, although Lord Taiwei's plan is wonderful, but is it too risky?" The "Uliangha" Weiwan Commander beside him, Tabin Timur, also nodded, deeply convinced.

Nahachu smiled and said slowly: "After Guolai occupied Gyeongju two years ago, he wantonly built city defenses and collected grain and grass, and he had more than 30,000 foot soldiers under his command, plus 20,000 cavalry in Hailixi, even if Feng Sheng's 200,000 army swarmed up, it was definitely not urgent to take it." This place is only more than 60 miles away from Gyeongju, and we can wait for more than 60,000 cavalry to arrive in the blink of an eye, so there is no need to think deeply. When the head of the three guards heard Nahachu say this, they were all relieved.
